An Austral Embraer ERJ-190 on behalf of Aerolineas Argentinas, registration LV-CID performing flight AR-2605 from Mar del Plata,BA to Buenos Aires Aeroparque,BA (Argentina) with 96 people on board, was taxiing for departure about to line up on the runway when the left hand nose wheel separated from the nose gear. The crew stopped for a check, then taxied the aircraft back to the apron.

Argentina's JIAAC reported they opened an investigation into an incident involving LV-CID at Mar del Plata at 18:45Z, the runway was released to service again.

On Jul 16th 2019 the JIAAC released their final report in Spanish only (Editorial note: to serve the purpose of global prevention of the repeat of causes leading to an occurrence an additional timely release of all occurrence reports in the only world spanning aviation language English would be necessary, a Spanish only release does not achieve this purpose as set by ICAO annex 13 and just forces many aviators to waste much more time and effort each in trying to understand the circumstances leading to the occurrence. Aviators operating internationally are required to read/speak English besides their local language, investigators need to be able to read/write/speak English to communicate with their counterparts all around the globe). The report concludes the probable causes of the incident were:

- The investigation found evidence of faitigue failure at the rim of the wheel of the nose landing gear.

- it was determined that the origin of the stress concentrating point, that caused the fissure, was corrosion by pitting

- it could not be reliably detected why the fissure expanded undetected by non-destructive tests carried out in regular scheduled intervals until the fracture occurred

- the investigation did not find any concrete evidence that could link the fatigue failure with inadequate maintenance or metallurgical damage

- the investigation did not find any similiar failures in the history of the fleet or type of aircraft
